"I’m going to buy a green tie to wear for the parade," he said. "I’ll be back in a few minutes." When the boy’s haircut was done and the man still hadn’t returned, the barber said, "It looks like your daddy forgot all about you." "That wasn’t my daddy," said the boy. "He just walked up, took me by the hand and said, ‘Come on, son, we’re going to get a free haircut!’" Seating arrangement At the airport check-in counter, I overheard a woman ask for window seats for her husband and herself. The clerk pointed out that this would prevent them from sitting together. "Sweetie," the woman replied, "I’ve just spent 10 days of quality time in a compact rental car with this man. I know what I’m requesting!" Miracles happen A lady had been exposed to strep and needed to visit the doctor’s office just to have her throat swabbed for a culture. She sat in the waiting room for quite some time with her legs crossed, reading a magazine while other patients came and went. Suddenly her turn was called, but when she stood up to go in, she discovered her leg had gone numb. Not wanting to keep the nurse waiting, she limped and staggered toward the inner office door. She noticed one elderly lady nudging another who sat beside her, as the two of them sympathetically watched her painful progress. Two minutes later, her procedure completed and her leg got back to normal, she walked easily back into the waiting room. As she strode past the two elderly ladies, she overheard one whisper triumphantly to the other, "See, Myrtle, I told you he was a wonderful doctor!" On a trip A cyclone hit a Kansas farmhouse just before dawn one morning. It tore off the roof, and picked up the beds on which the farmer and his wife slept were sleeping. By some miracle, the cyclone set them down unharmed in the next county. The wife was sobbing uncontrollably. "Don’t be scared, Mary," her husband said. "We’re not hurt." Mary continued to cry. "I’m not scared," she said between sobs. "I’m happy... this is the first time in 14 years we’ve been out together." Adventure ride The driver of a car with an ice-covered windshield had several minor accidents before he was stopped by a police car. "Don’t you think it would help if you cleaned the ice from the windshield?" the officer asked. "I don’t think so," was the reply. "I left my glasses at home."
